Starvation is prohibited (5)
Jian Tanxi: "I didn't promise to answer your question. So, I won't answer it."
The clown said helplessly, "Fine."
The other teammates were quite surprised to see that Jian Tanxi's last two questions were like this.
However, Zhang Dayong, Qin Man, and Li Chuxia did not say anything, nor did they blame Jian Tanxi.
Huo Zimu broke down: "Jian Tanxi! Are you crazy! Do you know how precious your question was? Why did you ask such an idiotic question!"
Jian Tanxi ignored him and said to the clown, "I've found a way to pass the level."
The clown asked, "Oh? What is it?"
Jian Tanxi walked to the bottom of the clock, trying to reach it.
However, the clock was too high for Jian Tanxi to reach.
Even Zhang Dayong, who is the tallest here, can't reach it.
Qin Man asked Jian Tanxi, "Do you want to take that clock?"
Jian Tanxi nodded: "Yes."
Qin Man first turned to the clown and asked, "Referee, could you help me get that clock?"
The clown said, "What's wrong with you people? Why do you all want to rely on me for everything? If you want the clock, figure it out yourselves."
So Qin Man said to Jian Tanxi, "I can let Li Chuxia ride on my shoulders and see if she can reach the clock. Among us, Li Chuxia is the lightest. Although my son is the lightest, he is not tall enough."
Jian Tanxi was heavier and shorter than Li Chuxia, so Li Chuxia was indeed more suitable to take the clock.
However, Jian Tanxi asked Qin Man with some concern, "Sister Qin Man, can you really carry an adult?"
Qin Man nodded: "No problem. You may not know, but a new mother is very strong."
Li Chuxia walked to Qin Man's side, and Qin Man squatted down, letting Li Chuxia ride on her shoulders.
Then, Qin Man stood up. Li Chuxia, who was perched on her neck, reached for the clock, but it was still a little short.
Zhang Dayong, who was standing nearby, said, "Li Chuxia should ride on my shoulders; I'm taller."
Jian Tanxi said, "No, Uncle Zhang, you have to hold Huo Zimu down to prevent him from causing trouble. Only you can control him here. As for the issue of not having enough height..."
Jian Tanxi looked at the hospital bed next to her and had an idea: "Sister Qin Man, Chu Xia, you two climb onto the hospital bed. With the height of the bed, you should be able to reach the clock."
So Qin Man and Li Chuxia worked together to push the hospital bed over and placed it under the clock.
Then, the two of them pushed Professor Pan Xian aside and climbed onto the hospital bed together.
Qin Man squatted down as usual, letting Li Chuxia ride on her neck.
Then, Qin Man slowly stood up.
Jian Tanxi, watching from the side, said, "You two be careful."
Qin Man said, "It's alright, I can handle it. Tan Xi, hold onto my son and don't let him cause trouble."
When Qu Chen saw his mother standing on the hospital bed, he ran to the bedside and tried to pull Qin Man to his side.
Jian Tanxi quickly grabbed Qu Chen, preventing him from going over.
The space where Qin Man was standing was already very small and could not withstand any shaking.
After Qin Man stood up straight, Li Chuxia, who was perched on her neck, reached out and indeed touched the clock.
They took the clock down and handed it to Jian Tanxi.
Jian Tanxi took the clock, very excited.
She didn't know if her guess was right, but she had to try anyway.
She directly turned the clock inside the clock, turning it 20 times in a row.
Then, Jian Tanxi asked the clown, "Have we cleared the level?"
The clown stared in surprise at Jian Tanxi's actions, then shouted, "Human! You're so smart! Congratulations, you've all cleared the level!"
Zhang Dayong, still in a daze, asked, "Why did you beat the game?"
Li Chuxia explained, "The clown just said that after 24 hours, it counts as one day. One revolution of the clock is 12 hours, so two revolutions are 24 hours, which is one day. Sister Tanxi turned the clock 20 times, so it counts as ten days."
Zhang Dayong muttered, "It's that simple?"
Li Chuxia nodded: "It's that simple."
Zhang Dayong was both surprised and delighted, and forgot to grab Huo Zimu.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Huo Zimu broke free from Zhang Dayong, ran to the bedside, took out the steamed bun from the pillow and ate it in one bite, then drank the glass of water next to him in one gulp.
No one stopped him, because everyone knew they would be able to get out soon.
The clown said, "Congratulations on passing the level. The reward for this level is that all participants' physical strength, endurance, and athletic ability will be greatly enhanced, reaching the level of professional athletes. Also, you won't get hungry easily anymore; one meal will keep you from going hungry for ten days, so you'll never have to worry about starving to death again. Furthermore, those who made significant contributions to passing the level will receive additional rewards."
Those who made significant contributions include: Jian Tanxi, Qu Chen, Qin Man, and Li Chuxia.
Huo Zimu said, "This is unfair! Some people didn't contribute anything to clearing the level! Qu Chen is a fool, he didn't help at all! And Professor Pan, he's been lying in a hospital bed the whole time, why should they get a reward?"
The clown said, "If it weren't for Qu Chen pointing at the clock, how could Jian Tanxi have discovered the way to pass the level so quickly?"
Jian Tanxi nodded and said, "That's right. It was because Qu Chen was pointing at the clock that I suspected the key to passing the level was the clock. I think that Xiao Chen kept pointing at the clock not because he was afraid of the sound of the clock, but because he had thought of a way to pass the level, which was to turn the clock. It's just that he can't speak and can't express it."
The clown said, "That's right. I told you, every contestant is a genius."
Hearing that Qu Chen was the first to come up with a solution, Qin Man was both delighted and surprised. She excitedly hugged Qu Chen and praised him.
Huo Zimu said, "What about Professor Pan? He won by simply lying down! He was carried through the entire round!"
The clown: "Without Professor Pan's bed, how could you have gotten to that clock?"
"This... can be stacked higher. If two people can't reach it, then stack three people on top."
The Joker: "These women aren't that strong. None of them can lift two people."
“Zhang Dayong and I could carry two people! If I had carried it back then, I would have made a great contribution!”
The clown said, "It's a pity you won't do it. You always scoff at the other teammates' plans and try to sabotage them. To prevent you from causing trouble, even Zhang Dayong, who is the strongest, had to hold you back and prevent you from participating in getting the clock."
"I……"
Huo Zimu wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
Li Chuxia asked the clown, "If we haven't figured out how to turn the clock, are there any other ways to pass the level?"
The Joker: "Of course there are. For example, you can eat your teammates' flesh and survive for ten days, as long as the teammate who cut off your flesh has enough flesh and good enough stamina to survive for ten days with injuries. However, this method has a low success rate because very few people can survive being cut off for ten consecutive days."
Huo Zimu got excited again: "That's the method I came up with! I should get an extra reward too!"
The clown said, "But you didn't use this method, so you didn't contribute anything."
Huo Zimu: "..."
Huo Zimu was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
He pointed at the Joker, then looked at the others, and said, "I've been set up by you and this Joker!"
Jian Tanxi said somewhat speechlessly, "Don't say that, we don't have that ability yet. I wish we were on the same side as the Joker, but unfortunately we aren't. Otherwise, I could have made the Joker return the other Earthlings."
The clown said, "Clever humans, the reward has been issued! Your physical abilities have been greatly enhanced! Feel it now!"
Jian Tanxi suddenly felt much better and stronger. Moreover, her hunger had lessened, and she no longer wanted to eat. She tried jumping and surprisingly jumped two meters high.
Li Chuxia tried long jump and actually jumped 3 meters.
Zhang Dayong said to Jian Tanxi and Li Chuxia, "You two little girls, try standing on my palm."
Jian Tanxi stood on Zhang Dayong's left hand, and Li Chuxia stood on Zhang Dayong's right hand.
Zhang Dayong lifted the two girls up effortlessly and said happily, "My strength has really increased several times! I didn't have this much strength before!"
He squatted down and put Jian Tanxi and Li Chuxia on the ground.
Qin Man also lifted her son Qu Chen with one hand.
Qu Chen found it very amusing and kept moving back and forth between Qin Man's left and right hands.
Qin Man didn't seem to be struggling at all; on the contrary, she seemed quite relaxed.
Huo Zimu was all alone on one side, with no one to help him test his physical fitness. He had to do a standing high jump himself and discovered that he could jump more than two meters high. He was very happy, but he couldn't find anyone to share his joy with; no one else was looking at him.
The clown walked over and said to Huo Zimu, "Hey, Huo Zimu, nobody cares about you, you're the one who looks like a clown."
Huo Zimu: "Get lost!"
The clown floated away and landed next to Jian Tanxi.
Then, he said to Jian Tanxi and the others, "Now we will distribute the extra rewards. Jian Tanxi, Qu Chen, Qin Man, and Li Chuxia, the four of you will receive an opaque bag containing your prizes for this event."
The types and quantities of prizes will be announced in your minds; no one else will hear it. Please keep your prize bags safe. The referee will not be responsible if they are snatched or stolen.
After they finished speaking, a gray bag appeared in the hands of Jian Tanxi, Qu Chen, Qin Man, and Li Chuxia.
The bag isn't very big, so the contents inside must be quite small.
Jian Tanxi and the others immediately hid the bag in their pockets.
Only little Qu Chen didn't understand anything and wanted to open the bag on the spot and take out the food inside to eat.
Qin Man quickly took Qu Chen's gray bag and kept it herself.
At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in Jian Tanxi's mind: "Congratulations to player Jian Tanxi for receiving additional rewards: one Resurrection Pill, which can bring the dead back to life; three Healing Pills, which can instantly heal a person's injuries or illnesses, with no usage restrictions. You can use them on yourself or others. Please keep these items safe; we are not responsible for any loss."
Jian Tanxi was very happy, but her expression remained indifferent, making it impossible to tell from her appearance whether the reward was good or bad.
Qin Man and Li Chuxia both looked happy, which showed that they had received good rewards.
Qu Chen shook his head in confusion, seemingly not understanding why a voice was appearing in his mind.
At this moment, Qin Man said to the clown, "My son can't speak or read. He doesn't know what he got, and he can't explain it. Can you just tell me?"
The clown said, "No. Each person's reward can only be heard by themselves."
